Most Brutal And Horrific Form Of Execution In The Acient History. - Education

Consider yourself lucky if you are reading this, you most likely not to have lived in a society with extreme judgements, sentences, and punishments. Back in the good old days if you did something wrong, for example stole a goat, chicken, Adultery, you were pretty much assured being handed a death sentence. In those days there was no hanging around on Death Row, contemplating the errors of your ways whilst waiting for some form of humane, painless death. Executions in the ancient history seems to be so barbaric and devices used were built with careful engineering to push the guilty to feel extreme and prolonged pain before death. The forms of execution listed below really are so barbaric that you might question your faith in human nature. Blowing from the gun. With the invention of the cannon came this wonderfully imaginative way of executing enemy combatants. The basic method was to tie the unfortunate victim to the barrel of a cannon and fire it. Horrific as this sounds I imagine it w...

Discovered by chance 94 years on: Bodies of 21 German soldiers in perfectly-preserved First World War trenches

Discovered by chance 94 years on: Bodies of 21 German soldiers in perfectly-preserved First World War trenches


Stunned workers were meant to be digging a new road but journeyed instead into a dim and grim past

They were meant to be digging a new road but journeyed instead into a dim and grim past.

Stunned workers stumbled upon an underground shelter – and inside were the bodies of 21 German soldiers killed in the First World War.

Many were found in the position they died when an Allied shell hit their tunnel and caused it to cave in 94 years ago.

A large number of personal possessions – preserved by the lack of air and light – were also found in the 300ft tunnel near the small town of Carspach in the Alsace region of France.

Michael Landolt, the archaeologist leading the dig, said: “Everything collapsed in seconds and is just the way it was at the time. Here, as in Pompeii, we found the bodies as they were at the moment of their death.

“Some of the men were found in sitting positions on a bench, others lying down. “One was projected down a flight of wooden stairs and found in a foetal position.

"The collapsed shelter was filled with soil. The items were very well preserved because of the absence of air and light and water.

"Metal objects were rusty, wood was in good condition and we found some pages of newspapers that were still readable. Leather was in good condition as well, still supple. The items will go to a lab, to be cleaned and examined.”

French archaeologists stumbled upon the mass grave during excavation work for a road building project. The 21 men were part of a larger group of 34 who were buried alive in 1918 at the site named Killianstollen on the old Western Front.

Thirteen bodies were recovered from the shelter after the bombing but it was too dangerous to retrieve the rest. As well as the bodies, poignant personal effects such as boots, helmets, weapons, wine bottles, spectacles, wallets, pipes, ­cigarette cases and pocket books were also discovered.

Even the skeleton of a goat was found, assumed to be a source of fresh milk. The dead were part of 6th Company, 94th Reserve Infantry Regiment. Their names were already inscribed on a memorial in the nearby German war cemetery of Illfurth.

The underground tunnel was big enough to shelter 500 men and had 16 exits. It would have been equipped with heating, phone connections, electricity, beds and a pipe to pump out water.

The French attacked the shelter on March 18, 1918 with aerial mines which penetrated the ground.

It is estimated that more than 165,000 Commonwealth soldiers are still unaccounted for on the Western Front.

Marched to their deaths.

Marched to their deaths: Sickening ISIS slaughter continues as 250 soldiers captured at Syrian airbase are stripped then led to the desert for mass execution  Sickening footage appears to show Islamic State militants parading around 250 captured soldiers through the desert in their underwear before they are killed and their bodies piled on the bare earth. An Islamic State fighter claimed the men were from the Syrian government's Tabqa air base which extremists seized on Sunday, potentially handing them warplanes, tanks, artillery and ammunition. The video, which has not been independently verified, is too graphic to be published in full. It begins by showing dozens of men being marched through the desert wearing only their underwear. It then fades to black, resuming with a pile of bloodied bodies stacked on top of one another. As the horrific footage progresses it pans slowly across a vast line of men who appear to be dead, and whose bodies have been laid out one by one. The line f...

A horrific photograph of an execution in eastern Europe during the second world war

 A horrific photograph of an execution in eastern Europe during the second world war can be seen in Holocaust archives and museums around the world.  But who are the killers, who are the victims, who took it - and why? Janina Struk felt compelled to investigate Two naked men stand on the edge of a pit, an older man several feet behind them, while a man and a boy, also naked, walk into the frame. Surrounding them are seven perpetrators, some armed, some in uniform, some not.  A uniformed man on the far right-hand side of the picture is standing on a mound of earth, presumably dug from the pit, seemingly directing proceedings. The caption reads: "Sniatyn - tormenting Jews before their execution. 11.V.1943." I first saw a copy of this image as I was filing through photographs in the Polish Underground Movement (1939-1945) Study Trust in west London.  At the time I did not understand what I was looking at. I had never encountered a scene quite like it before. The pitiful...

How often did the Romans have sex?

Romans were pretty open about sex. Their society wasn't as prudish as later Western societies became. They had a relaxed attitude toward sex, seeing it as a natural part of life. For instance, it was common for Roman homes to have erotic art, and even the city of Pompeii, frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, reveals walls adorned with some pretty explicit murals. But how often? Well, it varied. Elite Romans, who had more leisure time, probably engaged in sexual activities more frequently. They often had banquets and gatherings that sometimes turned into wild parties known as convivia. These weren't just your average get-togethers; they could involve a lot of drinking, feasting, and yes, sometimes sexual escapades. Interestingly, there's a lesser-known story about a Roman named Gaius Petronius, who was a member of Emperor Nero's court. Petronius wrote the Satyricon, a satirical novel that gives us a peek into the indulgent lifestyles of the Roman elite. One ...

Pastor Marries a Girl on Her 18th Birthday. Cop Notices Something ODD & Stops Everything!

Pastor Marries a Girl on Her 18th Birthday. Cop Notices Something ODD & Stops Everything! Martha, the estranged daughter of Pastor Michael, expresses her concerns about his upcoming marriage to a young woman named Edna. Martha finds it odd that Pastor Michael had never mentioned Edna before, that she had no job or known family or friends, and that she was going to be 18 on the wedding day, making the age difference between her father and Edna 25 years. Martha's suspicions increase when he learns that Edna had revealed this; I'm sexually aroused with no one and been living with Pastor Michael for the past few months. Officer Jake, a friend of Martha's, agrees to help her investigate. They discover that Edna is an orphan who had been in and out of foster homes and had been living on the streets for several months before coming to their small town. Despite their concerns, they are unable to find any concrete evidence of wrongdoing on Pastor Michael's part. However, Jak...

The story behind iconic Female Viet Cong Guerrilla photograph, 1972

 The story behind iconic Female Viet Cong Guerrilla photograph, 1972 A Viet Cong guerrilla stands guard in the Mekong Delta. Her name is Lam Thi Dep (Dep means beautiful in Vietnamese), the picture was taken in 1972 at Soc Trang Province by Vietnamese journalist Minh Truong. “You could find women like her almost everywhere during the war”, said the photographer. “She was only 24 years old but had been widowed twice. Both her husbands were soldiers”. She’s wielding an M-16, the standard-issue American soldier’s rifle.  Usually, these types of photos were taken for propaganda purposes. North Vietnamese women were deeply involved at all levels of the military campaign throughout the war, especially at the business end, fighting against the American-led forces in the jungle. North Vietnamese women were enlisted and fought in the combat zone as well as provided manual labor to keep the Ho Chi Minh trail open, cook for the troops, and some served as “comfort women” for male communis...

"Mary the Elephant's Heart-Wrenching Execution: A Homeless Man, A Circus Tragedy, and a Town's Fury in 1916"

On September 11, 1916, a homeless man named Red Eldridge was hired as an assistant elephant trainer by the Sparks World Famous Shows circus. His only job role was knowing how to use an elephant stick (literally a sharp spear). The day after he was hired, the circus announced a show in the town of Kingsport , Tennessee , featuring an elephant parade.Tragedy occurred when Mary the Elephant went on a rampage: while she was nibbling on a watermelon rind, Eldridge tried to keep her in line by prodding her behind the ear with a hook. Onlookers - stunned and helpless - watched as she grabbed Eldridge with her trunk, threw him against a drinks stand and stomped on his head, crushing it.Within minutes, the local blacksmith who thought she had gone mad shot her 5 bullets, but to no effect. Some spectators then began to chant: " Kill the elephant! Let's kill him ." Meanwhile, the mayors of several nearby towns threatened not to allow the circus to visit if Mary attended the show. So...
